283Let boats speed be V and stream speed be U and distance be S
For boat A total time takes is given by t1= S/(v+u) for donstream and t2 = S/v-u for upstream
Ta= t1 + t2 = 2SV/ v2 - u2
For Boat B its quite complicated but still...
B has to Perpendicular so it has to make an angle x such that
Vsinx= U ....sinx= U/V
we did this one in river boat problem in cases where drift has to be minimum
now the cos component of V will help it moving forward.
Vcosx=√V2 - U2 (by trigo)
Now since in perpedicualr direction the speed remains const through out so
Tb= 2S/√V2 - U2
Ta/Tb= V/√V2 - U2
= 1.2/√1.22 - 1
=1.8
